The fragments, released by the Vatican in 1972, were a gift to the Holy Family Church from the Shrine of Our Lady of Pompeii, also in Chicago. Displaying them now has particular significance because of their association with Christmas, which marks the birth of Jesus.
The Rev. Jeremiah J. Boland, administrator of the church, said on Friday that he is "not that interested" in carbon testing the items to see if they are from the beginning of the Christian Era.
"The Vatican has its own process to determine the authenticity of things," Boland said. "I'm more concerned with it as an object of faith."

In fact, you should never leave it at home. The Leica Monovid 8x20 is an essential for birdwatchers, hikers, opera and concert goers or visitors to sporting events - just the thing for fans of superior optical performance who also appreciate highest-quality equipment. The design of the Monovid is captivatingly elegant, but above all its outstanding optical performance puts it in a class of its own. Thanks to its eightfold magnification, its users can identify even the finest structures of the tiniest objects. A separate close-up lens that simply screws into the thread at the front of the glass reduces its close focusing limit to a mere 25 cm (9.8 in.), and transforms the Monovid into a first-class magnifier.
The benefits at a glance:
_ Outstanding lens with spectacular resolution
_ A featherweight monocular you should never leave at home
_ High-quality tubular leather case with magnetic clasp
_ Close-up lens for macro capability
_ Water and dirt repellent AquaDura® coating
_ Waterproof to 5 m / 16.5 ft
Monovid 8x20
The Monovid features nitrogen filling to prevent internal fogging and water and dirt repellent AquaDura® coating on all exposed lens surfaces. Furthermore, in contrast to other monoculars, it is not only water-resistant, but fully waterproof to a depth of 5 m (16.5 ft). It is extremely handy and versatile and is the featherweight of its class at only 112 g / 3.95 oz.
It slips comfortably into any jacket pocket and is a constantly ready and able companion. Particularly practical: when not in use, its close-up lens can be stored safely in the leather case provided. The best place to keep it safe and sound; screwed tight, so it can't be lost. Yet another advantage is the silent magnetic clasp of its refined and elegant tubular case.

Artifice loves it when our friends get up to interesting projects, and we especially love projects that include non-traditional book tours, fantastic illustrations, and a weird, dark sense of humor. This post concludes a month of virtual book tours for The New York Stories, which is a collection by Ben Tanzer, illustrated by Laura Szumowski. The New York Stories was recently published by the Chicago Center for Literature & Photography (CCLaP) as a hand-bound, special edition (vellum illustration pages, faux-suede covers, and external Coptic stitching, oh my!), available now for $50.
The type for The New York Stories is creatively laid out in a condensed square format, with the text running like a magazine: two justified columns set close together. Szumowski's illustrations leading into the stories are apt, tone-setting introductions to Tanzer's acerbic, dark texts. Kids watch Mermaids and get into trouble, while adults ignore their problems at Thirsty's bar. The New York Stories hits you with a never-ending series of gut-dropping moments; when you think that something awful might have happened but you try and hope for the best, Tanzer shows that it's probably better to expect the worst. It's a dark world where parents can't be trusted with their friends' children, and the children can't be trusted with each other.
We hope you check out a few more of the interesting book tour stops (e.g. you can hear Ben reading a story over at Curbside Splendor, or listen to Ben and Laura chatting with Another Chicago Magazine). Here at Artifice, though, we give you a conversation about book production, comics, illustration challenges, the paranormal, and inanimate objects with personality.
N.B. This interview is compiled from separate email correspondences, and was conducted between Chicago and London.
Artifice: Ben and Laura, can you describe the process of working with each other to develop the illustrations? How did you get in touch? How much contact did the two of you have before getting started?
Ben Tanzer: I would really like this answer to be so much cooler than it is. But, I sort of knew Laura personally from different readings and other events, had compulsively zipped around her website, though not in any stalkerish kind of way, really, and was a fan of her and her work and style. That said, it was CCLaPs idea to bring our work together and I think it was a terrific one. For me anyway. Laura may find herself increasingly dismayed by the whole thing and is merely keeping-up a happy face for our public appearances.
Laura Szumowski: I was originally approached by Jason Pettus, the publisher, about an illustration project he had in mind. He sent me one of Ben's stories, The Babysitter, and I loved it.
Originally, Jason wanted me to do something along the lines of Jay Ryan, style wise, but when I talked with Ben, he mentioned Deer Hunter and First Blood as visual inspiration. My instincts from reading the stories agreed with Ben, so I did a few drawings to see what he thought. He said great, keep going– it was as simple as that. Not a whole lot of interaction, nothing too specific. He was comfortable with me taking artistic license, and I think was interested to see what I would draw from his writing.

Hi to all moms
I will become a mom this August!!, and I am really concern about my baby's health. The allergies issue is at the top of my worries. I would like an advice about what is a better choice between buying an air humidifier or an air purifier for my baby's room?
Is there any of you who can help me?
Congratulations, Jenny! In my experience, it's best to hold off on anything like this until the baby actually comes. More often than not, we end up worrying over lots of issues that never come to pass -- and then end up stressed out over nothing.
What I would do is wait and see if your baby is having issues with allergies, and if you have concerns, discuss them with your doctor. He can give you the best recommendations and assessments.
I can't say which one is better or which you need, but we utilize our humidifier frequently in the winter especially. I feel it helped our daughter have fewer colds this past winter. We have forced hot air, so it can get dry.
Also, no matter what you do, make sure you check the air filters in your home and that baby's room is well-ventilated.
There really is no way to know that your baby will have allergies. I don't think anyone can go wrong with an air purifier though. However, you may never need any thing at all. We usually recommend humidifiers to our patients with stuffy noses and coughs during the winter. The air is very dry from the central heat and it helps to moisten the nasal passage ways and the lungs.
I've never used anything at all with my children unless they were sick.

Linda actually listens – Linda is fantastic! For the first time in my life a stylist actually gave me practical tips that helped me keep my hair in great shape. Her suggestions were so simple and realistic. I'm ashamed to say that because I followed her tips and got way less split ends, it's now been almost a year since I've seen her! Linda is the person to go to for frizzy, curly hair.
Excellent cut, Danielle is awesome!!! – I've been going to Judy Jetson for over a year now, and I love the way Danielle cuts my hair. She's a bundle of energy, and is a lot of fun to talk to while she works her magic.
Before I came to JJ, I was getting my hair cut at a place in Kendall Square. The cuts were "ok", but each time I told the stylist that I wanted something different and that she could feel free to do whatever she wanted, as long as the cut was ultra-low maintenance and worked with my wavy hair... and they'd go right into giving me the exact same cut I came in with: a layered cut that was nearly shoulder-length that only looked good when blow-dried straight (that is not ultra-low maintenance, and my hair never looked good after the first day!!!).
When I first went to Danielle, I told her the same thing. She thought about it for a bit, and then told me what she thought. I walked out with a "super-cute" (Danielle's words and I agree!) chin-length bob that looked vaguely flapperish, and couldn't have been happier with the results.
I highly recommend JJ (and Danielle). If you're turned off by no frills surroundings, though, it may not be for you.
not impressed!! and uncomfortable – This was the first and last time for me going to the Judy Jetson salon. It was an uncomfortable atmosphere - the stylists were only talking to each other. My stylist was not one for chatting - I don't think he asked me one question. I like when my stylists offer suggestions on what may look good for future cuts or what would work best for my hair, but there was none of that. My stylist seemed bored and distracted. I'm not sure what the other stylists are like, but the one I had (and I'm sorry - I didn't even catch his name) was a one star at best. I don't like my cut and feel I overpaid for the void of service. This salon was a no-go for me.
"Hello from Maureen! I am happy to say that I will be moving to Salon Luna in Porter Square this week. To everyone who has supported me in the Boston/Cambridge area, a BIG thank you. Hours, directions etc., can be found at :the Salon Luna website.
Moureen knows color – I have been going to JJ for about 2 years now and wanted to let people know that if you want someone that is down to earth and understands color and skin tone then I recommend Moureen at JJ. She looked at a color that I was receiving at a salon on Newbury and ask if she could change it a bit.... A subtle change made all the difference and I have never received more compliments on my color and cut. I highly recommend her. And for parking, park in Porter square and enjoy a nice 3 block walk to the salon.
Tracey Vaughan is Moving On From Judy Jetson – Hey everyone!! This is Tracey from Judy Jetson's. I have decided to make the move over to Salon Luna, in Porter Square. I will be starting there February 28th and I can't wait to see everyone there soon!!! Thanks for a great seven years at Judy's!!
Linda Chehab is awesome – I went to Linda Chehab at Judy Jetson hair salon and was rewarded with the best cut of my life. I have curly hair but the type that culrs differently all over and it is frizzy all the time. Thanks to some of the reviews i read, I was able to decide who to see...Linda was wonderful. She listened to my concerns, got to know a little about me, Asked a lot of questions and was also very funny. When she was done with my cut, she asked if i had any concerns and i did and she was able to address them right away and told me I need to educate her about what i like and dont because curly hair is never the same twice. I am surprised to read that (tools for School) was unhappy.Seems like a whole different person than the Linda I had cut my hair. After my haircut,Linda assured me that she wanted the haircut to work for me outside the salon and was very admanant that i call if i were for any reason not a %100 happy. Ofcourse i did not need to call because the cut was great. I suggest you talk to her a lot and let her know what you want and dont want and not be hesitant to voice your concerns because she is very flexible and will address any issues you may have...AS for me, I found my hairdresser and I no longer have to worry about that. The salon itself can be a little intimidating and the stylists all tend to talk to each other and involve the clients witht he conversation which i think is great because it gives you the feeling of belonging...It is definitely not the place to go if you are looking to get your behind kissed but it is definitely the place to go for a good laugh and fun down to earth atmosphere and out of this world haircuts.And as Linda says, if u r not %100 happy right away, talk to her next time more about what u want and let her know what did not work for u.So with a guarantee like that,i say, if ur haircut was not terrible and just okay, go back and let her know you more.Trust me, she rocks
Too cool for school – I have long curly hair and am happy to pay a lot and go out of the way to get a good cut. I went to Judy Jetson because a few curly-headed women I know all got great haircuts there, all from different stylists. I called and requested a stylist who is good with curly hair, and got an appointment with Linda Chehab. I asked her to give it more body in the back and a few short pieces in the front. I also said if she had suggestions I was open to them, as I was simply sick of my long hair and wanted something more flattering. I'm fairly certain she barely listened. The haircut is OK, but I already had an OK haircut. It comes with the same maintenance problems I was trying to get rid of. What really turned me off to this salon was the atmosphere and attitude within it. I had my short, peremptory consulation *after* I had already had my hair washed because Linda was busy--with curly hair you really need to consult beforehand because a stylist needs to see the shape and type of curl. Also, the water was cold when my hair was washed and the woman never asked about the temperature.
When Linda started cutting my hair, she would say not very funny things and then cackle extravagantly. She would yoo-hoo to people coming in as I was in mid-sentence. All the stylists were like this--it was that weird salon culture taken to the extreme. I tried to make polite conversation, which she obviously thought was lame, so then I tried to read, and she said "Aren't you going to entertain me?" I moved a piece of hair from my eyes, and she said "I know what you're thinking--you're thinking I'm not paying attention to the way your hair naturally parts." ??? No, I'm thinking I have hair in my eyes and want to get it out.
All in all, it was an unpleasant, uncomfortable experience. I get that it's "hip" and was not intimated by this, but everyone was just *so* ridiculous that I found it a huge turn off. The cut was not good enough to put up with that kind of stuff.
I love Judy Jetson! – I go to Linda Kirk and her cuts are great. I have very short hair and have always found that if you don't get a good cut, it will grow in badly. Not a problem with Linda. I also get my 3 year old daughter's hair cut by Linda and she does a great job. Everyone in the salon is very friendly and the atmosphere is very funky.
If you are looking for a hip haircut done well, go to Judy Jetson's.
Linda C.'s talent is beyond exceptional – I have long hair with long layers/bangs that I love... I honestly can say that I LOVE my hair now... All because of Linda Chehab at Judy Jetson salon. She is the most talented stylist I have ever experienced. Going there for a cut is the best decision I have ever made. At first I was recommended to another stylist, and because she was unavailable, I was set up with Linda. I was pleasantly surprised by how accurately she "got" my hair and what would make it work... I had been trying to get other stylists to do the same style for years! and after only a few exchanges (well, she sits you down and has you tell all...), she got it right! She cut it so well that after 3 months it still looked great! I went in today afraid of losing that "grown-in" look and I came out even happier then I was the first time! The ease with which she gets it right is shocking.. She effortlessly cuts away and then there it is...the ever-desired perfect cut. Yes, I will admit that there are no frills at this salon.. They don't massage your scalp and serve you tea, but the stylists are talented, and isn't that what counts? If you need pampered, don't go here, but if you are looking for a new style and want to walk away from the salon happy and then be even happier when you get home and look in the mirror, try Linda C. (in the window) at Judy Jetson.. I gaurantee you will be happy... Thanks Linda!!!

Bellevue >Alternative Medicine > Ding's Acupuncture, Massage & Herbs

Neighborhoods: Crossroads
Lei is a gifted acupuncturist and healer. She helped me with my anxiety, depression and chronic neck and back pain. I can't thank her enough. Thank you.
Best massage in Bellevue – I've been to a few massage places in Bellevue area and Lei is by far the best. I need more of the deep tissue type. She puts in the right amount of pressure that endures through the whole hour but checks to make sure it's feeling all right throughout. Her fees are very reasonable and she turns her office into a relaxing oasis. Every time I leave, I have full range of movement without the aches, which gets me back out for more training. She is a must for anyone doing marathon or other serious training.
Pain Gone – I am a 45-year-old male who works in IT industry. Being an avid golfer, I have enjoyed the sport for many years until I developed neck and shoulder pain
and low back pain. The low back pain became so intense that I would only walk short distances and thus could not play much of golf over the past year. I was
diagnosed as having a herniated disc and was treated with cortisone shots, physical therapy and chiropractic therapy with no relief. The doctor recommended
However, I found Lei Ding at Ding's Acupuncture & Herbs in Bellevue. She was able to help me so much that I am back to my old self of playing 18 holes of golf. She also treated my insomnia as well. My life is a lot better then it was before. Her office is so arranged that you feel relaxed while you are being treated. Oh, by the way the acupuncture needles do not hurt at all.
Mark H
Finally Pregnant – My husband and I have been trying to have a baby for three years. Prior to seeing Lei Ding, L.Ac in Bellevue, I suffered from PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) and had very painful menstrual periods. Along with it, I also had PMS and hot flashes that made me just miserable around other people including my husband. After Lei gave me acupuncture treatments and Chinese herbal medicine for two and half months,my life is 90 to 95% better. I do not have the painful menses or the PMS. My hot flashes are gone. I can sleep through the night. I
also do not have the migraine headaches that accompanied the painful menses and PMS. And,guess what, I am pregnant! Thank you Lei.
Helen T
Thank you, Helen. Congratulations!
I lost the weight and kept it off – I have been overweight since my childhood. I have tried all the weight loss programs and products "under the sun", you name it! Every time I loss some weight I would only gain more back. A friend told me about her successes of smoking session and weight loss that she had with Lei Ding at Ding's Acupuncture. So, I went to see Lei and she was just wonderful. I have lost 30 pounds in ten weeks and I have not regained it back. The acupuncture needles in my ears stop my craving for sweets. Lei taught me how to eat and exercise. She really treated me as a whole person. Highly recommend her to everyone in need.
Thank you. Keep it up.

President Barack Obama is pushing his "fiscal cliff" plan with a familiar campaigning strategy: social media.
The White House launched a new Twitter hashtag Wednesday in an effort to encourage Americans to express their support for Obama's plan to extend the George W. Bush-era tax cuts, which are set to expire at the end of the year, for middle-class Americans.
The hashtag, #My2K, represents the $2,200 in taxes that Americans will save if Obama's plan is passed by Congress, according to the White House.
"I'm asking Americans all across the country to make your voice heard. Tell members of Congress what a $2,000 tax hike would mean to you. Call your members of Congress. Write them an email, post it on their Facebook walls. You can tweet it using the hashtag #My2k," Obama said at a press conference Wednesday. (Read More: Obama: Let's Get Fiscal Cliff Deal Before Christmas)
As part of a new debt-reduction deal, Obama is proposing that Congress end the Bush-era tax cuts for those making over $250,000, while extending it for Americans who make less than that amount.
Obama's hashtag was trending on Twitter in the U.S. after his speech with both supporters and critics using the hashtag to express their thoughts on how his tax plan would impact them.
The White House has also set up a MY2K section on its website where it asks Americans to write to them and share how a $2,000 tax hike would impact their lives.

f/22 is available on the lens I usually have attached to my Canon digital SLR. However, on that camera an f/16 is the rough equivalent to a 35mm full frame f/22.
EF-S 10-22 f/3.5-4.5 USM goes to f/22, f/29 at the narrow end.
EF-s 17-85 f/4-5.6 IS USM goes to f/22, f/32 at the narrow end.
EF 24-70 f/2.8L USM goes to f/22
EF 70-200 f/4L IS USM goes to f/32
The 17-85 and Rebel Xt are on the shelf, waiting for my wife to make up her mind if she wants to use a big, heavy SLR or stick to her P&S.

When I saw Gail's image it made think "That's how I see mine"
That porch landing support on the right isn't attached.
I was looking at some options and it's just a stray 4 x 4 leaning against the wall.

hi, I'm a first time mom to a preemie baby boy. He's in perfect health, my husband and I are extremely lucky in that respect. However, I'm having a hard time dealing with my emotions. He was born at 29 weeks weighing 2 lbs 2 oz, and he stayed in the hospital for almost 2 months. Even though he's healthy and always was ( he just needed to gain weight to come home) I cant help feeling like its my fault he was born early, I get very emotinal looking at his pictures from when he was in the NICU and when we're out and people comment on how tiny he is, I get either mad or very upset. Also, I have a hard time being away from him. i dont know if thats because I didnt have a choice in being away from him when he was born or not, but i dont like leaving him with my parents or in-laws even to take a 30 minute trip to the grocery store. Anyone else go through this? i know its normal at first but he's almost 7 months old..any tips?
I can relate to how you are feeling. I to am a mom to preemie boy. He was a month early and like your little one was perfect in every way but had to go to the NICU. Although I was able to room with my little one and only left his room to eat. I felt horrible and blamed myself and did all the research I could trying to find answers. The bottom line is nothing you or I could have done would have changed anything. I discussed my feelings with my OB/Gyn at my 2 week appt. and she made it clear unless I was a smoker or an illegal drug abuser there is nothing I did or could have done to prevent his early arrival and needed to stop blaming myself. Yes he is tiny but rejoice in the fact he is perfectly healthy, size in only a number. This is my fourth baby but first preemie. I think many people commented on my other three on how "small" they looked and they all were "average" sized babies. People just forget how small we all start out and mean nothing negative by commenting on it. In place of blame I replaced it with reminding myself how lucky we are to have him, here and healthy. There are many couple wishing to have a baby and are unable to make that happen. I remember looking around the general NICU he was in to start and seeing all the other sick babies who were attached to many tubes, wires and monitors and had been here for months and months kind of puts things into prespective. Not every baby in that NICU went home with their parents. As far as not wanting to leave him I think this is normal and shows you are bonded to your child. As he gets older it will get easier. Enjoy your sweet baby boy and remember how lucky you are to be his mommy. He wouldn't want you to worry about things you cannot change. Hope this helps!
thank you, your advice helps alot. I stayed with him all the time, we only left to eat and sleep. I was able to stay at the Ronald McDonald house across the street from the hospital so we were always close to him. You're 100% right about other babies in the NICU, and it does put things in perspective. How do you respond to people commenting on your sons size? i dont want to just say "yes, he's small" because I dont want to seem rude, but I also dont like telling people he was born early, because I dont want to seem like i'm looking for sympathy. thank you so much, your advice has really helped
Hi I am a first time mom to a set of twin boys. They where born early at 26 weeks weighing 1lb 8oz and 1lb and 13oz. They had to have a surgery. Now they are fine. They did not come home on any moniters or oxygen. I did not want to go anywhere away from my twins. My mom begged me to take a break and I can't. She did convince me to start school and I only feel comfortable with leaving them with my husband. Everytime I leave I feel strange. I understand you completely.
glad to hear your sons are okay! My son had to have surgery too for a herneia. I dont feel so bad now knowing that other Moms feel uncomfortable leaving their little ones too !
My daughter came 5 weeks early and we spent 2 weeks in NICU. I am an OB/L&D nurse and thought I would handle it just fine....NOT!! I was a mess and spent many nights wondering what I did wrong. She broke her collar bone and I broke my tailbone during the delivery, her face was purple with bruises and her head looked horrible from the vacuum....I don't think I have totally gotten over it. I think we are all strong mommies and should give ourselves a pat on the back for making it through a NICU stay!
My son was born 1 month early. He is just over 4 months old. I did go through very difficult time with my in-laws and my sister-in-law. They thought I was depressed. I didn't want them to take care my son. Everytime they've offered to take him, I got really emotional. Even if they wanted to help me to get some sleep or to spend quality time with my husband. We even had few discussions on why I didn't want them to take care of my son. I totally understand where you stand and It is normal to feel that way about your son. You want to make sure that your son is at best care and that he is protected from any harm. My doctor once said that it is totally natural to feel that way and other family should respect your space for awhile. I needed some time to recover from my surgery and to get to know my son. My son is now very healthy and I no longer worry about him being born preemie. He gets to see his grandparents twice a week and his aunt as well. I don't have my side of family here in the US so it's been very difficult to swallow that my parents are not being able to enjoy this wonderful experience with us. Well...a long story short, I have gathered my husband side of family and shared my feeling with them. It was very emotional and wasn't easy. My son loves to spend time with his grandparents and other families around him. He doesn't cry when someone else is holding him. It's been wonderful to introduce him to other families so that he is used to others. I am back to work part time and I don't have to worry about my son anymore. Luckly...all of my babysitters are on the same page with me. It is VERY important that everyone knows how you feel. Ask for help. I would like to say that YOU ARE A WONDERFUL MOTHER TO YOUR SON. Keep up the good work!
I totally understand how you feel. My son was born at 33 weeks being a first time mom and a preemie mom is alot to adjust and i was always saying what if this caused his heart rate to drop that low(was emergency csection because of dangerously low heart rate). I always blamed myself and think somewhat i still do but i am understanding now that i tried my best and did everything possible for him. Unless you wished to have a preemie then chances are it wasn't your fault. I always tell myself he was preemie so that i cherish all the small things that alot of "normal" parents consider no big deal.
Hello, I know how you feel about him being a preemie, my son was a preemie and was in the NICU for 2 1/2 months before we were able to take him home. He was born at 28 weeks, dont feel like it was your fault that he came early cause I had the same feeling and when I went to see my doctor, she said that the reason why my son came early was because he knew that something was wrong and he need to get out. I was at the NICU morning and night to see my son. When he was born he weighed 2 pounds 11 oz and he was this tiny little thing. I was so nerves for him and I just prayed that he would be ok. And when he came home I never left his side. Everytime he made a noise or moved I was right their. But now he is 6 months old and weighs 16 pounds 12 oz and is the happest littest boy in the world. And I thank god everyday that he is here with us. I also had a hard time being away from him and leaving him with someone else to watch him. So what I did to make me feel better was I would call every hour just to see how he was and to make me feel better.
Giovanni - what a great and encouraging story. I know some NICUs that have mothers who have had babies in the NICU come back and encourage the mothers that are currently dealing with a premature baby. You'd be great at that!

I enjoy papaya as a fruit! Your margarita is ingenious idea, indeed!
Papayas in DC are hard to come by, sadly. I still think about the papaya I ate on vacation in Hawaii. (Four years ago.) It was Heh-VUN! Add tequila…yes, please!
What a gorgeous color. Almost to pretty to drink. Love your new header.
I love papaya, but never thought in making margarita out of it…will have to give this one a try. Lovely color as well. Hope you are having a great week

Oh Bonnie your endless supply of fruits for margaritas are surely gonna put in trouble. I wish I could drink the picture itself or lived nearby you. BTW strawberry margarita they were awesome and turned out to be party pleaser.
That's a beautiful color, and it's refreshing just to look at this cocktail!
I love papayas and know that I would love this. What do you do with the papaya seeds? Someone told me that they can be roasted?
Want. One. Now!!!
Yum yum yum!! What is your all-time favorite marg?
Bonnie, this margarita looks incredible! I love that you added papaya, too. My husband made me something very similar recently with muddled watermelon… It was like I died and went to heaven. Thank God for margarita season – It's finally upon us!!
Que deliciosa Margarita! I only need the warm weather and sunshine to complete the experience.
I need to make it a point to travel to your house every Weekend so we can have sips of these fine margaritas you keep posting!
I am beginning to think your Saturdays are the best day of the week, so are these refreshing cocktails…
I DEFINITELY need one of these with this heat wave we have right now! yum!

The color is so beautiful! The papaya looks perfectly ripe! I'd love to have a glass of this, or two

What a bright happy treat!!
I feel like the warm breeze blowing in my hair just from looking at this! So refreshing.
wow, This one looks great, is there any substitute for Cointreau?
Oh, it looks gorgeous! That is a fabulous drink.

"This is a touchy situation for a lot of folks," said Smith, principal of Trinity Christian Academy in Oxford. "For us, it was an opportunity."
Trinity Christian, a church-affiliated private school in Oxford, was among the seven schools that qualified that week for tax credits under the Alabama Accountability Act, the new law that grants parents a tax credit of around $3,500 per year if they pull their children out of "failing" public schools and enroll them in private schools.
Passed in a late-night vote in February, the Accountability Act quickly became the most intensely debated bill of the 2013 legislative session. Proponents touted it as a groundbreaking bill that would offer a choice to students stuck in bad schools. Critics said it was an attempt to funnel tens of millions of dollars away from public schools and give them to private institutions.
So far, neither prediction has come true. Many private schools charge more than the $3,500 per year available with the tax credits. Statewide private school organizations have expressed skepticism of the tax credits and the additional scholarships the law established, saying participation would require additional paperwork and cost them their independence from state school officials.
But a few school leaders, like Smith, concluded the benefits were worth the risk.
"If it's a chance for even a few students to get a biblical education, that's good," Smith said.
Located on the campus of Trinity Baptist Church, Trinity Christian has exactly 100 students, Smith said. The school uses the A-Beka curriculum, a course of study designed at a Christian college and widely used by homeschoolers and Christian schools. The school's tuition is about $4,000 per year, close to the $3,500 available through the tax credit.
The school is less than a half-hour's drive from two schools on the failing list – Anniston Middle School and Zora Ellis Junior High in Talladega. Smith said he hasn't enrolled any students under the Accountability Act yet, though he's had a few inquiries from Talladega.
Attempts to reach Talladega City Schools superintendent Douglas Campbell were unsuccessful Tuesday.
Trinity could handle many more students, he said. The school once had a student body of between 250 and 300 students, he noted.
Jim Childers, headmaster of Chambers Academy in Lafayette, said he's not sure why other private schools have rejected the idea of participating in the tax credit program.
"I can't see a down side," Childers said.
Chambers Academy is a school of about 150 students in mostly rural Chambers County, with an annual tuition of roughly $4,800. The school's website says the curriculum addresses the "spiritual" needs of students, but Childers says it's not a church-affiliated school.
"We're not a Christian school," he said. "We open the day with prayer and the pledge of allegiance, and due to our small class size, our teachers are able to get more involved with the students' needs. It's like a family."
Childers said it only made sense to qualify for the tax credits. The school is near three public schools – two in the Chambers County system, one in Lanett – that are on the failing schools list. Even so, Childers said he wouldn't be willing to double his enrollment, or come close to doing so.
"We don't want 150 more students," he said. "It would change the nature of the school."
State Sen. Del Marsh, R-Anniston, said he's not surprised that so few schools have qualified for the tax credits so far. The list of failing schools was announced in mid-summer, he noted, giving schools little time to adapt.
"I really believe it will be next year before it will be fully implemented," he said.
When more schools and teachers understand how the Accountability Act works, Marsh said, more schools will try to qualify for the program. Marsh formed a nonprofit group earlier this year to promote the act, and he said he's working with other nonprofits to publicize the new law over the next year.
"I'm excited," he said. "I knew it was going to take time to get started."
The Alabama Legislature set aside $40 million in the 2014 education budget to offset tax credits under the Accountability Act. Marsh acknowledged Tuesday that the cost for the next school year won't come near that number. He said the set-aside would likely be rolled over to pay for tax credits in the 2015 budget year.
"The bottom line is that it's not going to cost nearly as much as some people said it would," he said.
Shortly after the passage of the Accountability Act, critics of the new law released estimates that put the cost of the act anywhere between $50 million and $367 million per year. Unlike most bills, the act was passed without a "fiscal impact statement" estimating the bill's total cost. Debate about the interpretation of the act led lawmakers to pass a major revision to the bill just a few months after the original version passed.
The heated debate over the law has at least one supporter skeptical that the tax credits will stay in place forever.
"We'll try it for as long as it lasts," Childers said.

Well, Mr Bladine, may I so boldly suggest, that if cops didn't arrest innocent people, and D.A's only charged the guilty with crimes, then there would be no need for trials .
A guy just got released the other day after spending 42 years in prison for a crime he did not commit. It's been proven time and time again that even the innocent will plead guilty to crimes they did not commit out of fearing the mountains of charges that can be heaped upon them by those with only one thing in mind, and that is self-served interest, not justice served..

The school board voted at Tuesday's meeting to receive a lump sum rather than $160,000 from the state for capital projects each year for 20 years.
Taking the money all at once means the funds won't be susceptible to proration, explained Superintendent Jeff Goodwin.
Robby Jordan, the school system's chief financial officer, explained that the system is giving up about $1 million over the course of 20 years to get a lump sum payment now.
"We've got to pay interest on the loan," Jordan said. "It's really a good deal because we don't have to go out and issue bonds like we'd do if we wanted to do it ourselves ... everything's done at the state level. The state's borrowing the money, but we're borrowing from the state."
The money is not earmarked for particular construction projects, said Roy Bennett, student service coordinator for Oxford schools, but several building projects are on the horizon. The money could be used for any one of them, Bennett said.
During today's meeting the board also held a public hearing to get parents' feedback on the district's decision to keep the current school calendar for another year.
For the last two years Oxford's schools have opted to use several school days each year as professional development days for teachers.
State law will change next year, however, requiring public schools to operate on a 180 school-day calendar, Goodwin said. The district is considering applying for a waiver to continue the adjusted schedule next year.
Several parents told the board during the hearing that they like the current calendar, which allows for more breaks during the year and keeps kids in school until 3 p.m.
One such Oxford High student was honored by the board today, Kayla Hicks. The board recognized the athlete for being selected as a 2013 U.S. Paralympics High School Track and Field All-American.
Oxford High principal Chris Cox said the district was excited to learn Hicks was chosen for the honor, becoming one of 55 in the nation selected as All-Americans.
"I've been in education and coached for 19 years," Cox said, adding that Hicks is the first student he's had selected as a national All-American
In other business, the board:
- Recognized Oxford High physical education teacher and Key Club sponsor Dana Webb as receiving the "Partnership of the Year" award from the greater Calhoun County Area Committee on Employment of People with Disabilities.
Approved a revision of the school district's policy on enrollment of homeless, migrant and immigrant students and students for whom English is a second language.

Bad food and rude service – I have been to this place twice. Once with my friend and the second time with my family and a friend. The first time I went, I was not impressed with the food at all and was not planning to go back, as the food was dry and bland. The second time I went was because it was Easter Sunday and a lot of places were closed so we did not have many options - especially as we had an 8-month old baby with us. The place was half-empty. We decided to go to the second floor and there were one or two tables occupied. We sat at a table that accommodates 4 people and took out one of the chairs to fit the stroller (the stroller is very small) in. The hostess, Jenna, came and complained that the stroller was "in the way". We showed her that the stroller did not take more space than a large person sitting in the same spot, but she then said that it was "blocking the way to the table behind it". We told her that the table was empty, and that we would be happy to move if somebody came to sit there and that there were many other tables open. But she refused to accommodate us at all, and was not even in the least apologetic about it. That is something you would at least expect at a half-decent restaurant, which this one obviously is not. After they kicked us out with our baby, we asked to see the manager. We called Sarah, who is one of the waiters and she found all kind of excuses for not getting the manager. Another waiter came and asked if he could "help" us and we explained that we wanted to talk to the manager. He got upset and walked away - how professional!
If you have kids, please stay as far away as possible. There are plenty of good bars and restaurants in Canton that will happily accommodate you. That place is awful, bad food, and bad service. I will tell everyone I know exactly that.
ARROGANT at MOTHS – my husband and i wanted to celebrate our 33rd wedding anniversary ato we deceided to go to MOTHS, since we like their crab cakes, after ordering the crab cakes mine was so spicy i couldn't eat it, someone over spiced our batch, i asked the manager Rich if i could exchange it since it brought tears to my eyes and made my nose run, he comment "NO we are not in a franchise resturant and we don't do refunds", he laughted at us like we were idots, the man has NO customer service or he doesn't value customers, all he wants is get them in and get the out and pick up the $$$, EXTREMELY disappointed in the place, i will make it my mission in life to tell everyone i meet not to go to MOTHS in canton. its a lost cause. i hope the manager gets food poision... ^j^
Bad Management – went to this resturant for the first time today ,me and my family for my daughters 32nd birthday,i ordered stuffshrimp when i recieved my meal i tasted it and realize it was to salty for me to eat i have high blood pressure and also had heart surgery in 2008,i asked the young lady could she take it back and bring me grilled chicken,she came back and told me that the manager said could someone else at the table eat it because he wasn't taking it off the menu,i asked to speak withhim to explain why i couldn't eat this meal ,,he was so very nasty,told me it wasn't his problem that i ordered something that i could not eat and i shouldn't have ordered it being a cook myself i explained to him that it was to salty ,again he stated we do not use salt so you shouldn't have ordered it,but i let him know maybe no salt but lot's of obay which caused it to be salty,this person i won't even call him a gentlemen because he didn't act accordingly was very nasty and obnoxious spoiled my daughters whole birthday lunch because everyone lost their appetites because of his behavior and rudeness but the waitress we had was very sweet and apologetic ,i paid for my gingerale nothing else tip'd her very well and left never to return.I wonder if he would of prefered to pay for my ER visit?
Great food but bad service – I had been to this restaurant around 2 years ago and had an enjoyable experience with great food. This time i came with a party of 6 on time for dinner on a tuesday night. Everything was fine but one of our group members came a half our late. We had already eaten our appetizers and ordered drinks and our entrees. It was nice to have everything come promptly and on time. But then right before our 6th member arrived the waiter said he could not order any entrees and could only eat the soup or salad because he came too late into the group. This place gets crowded so its like they are rushing you. The waiter didn't offer any desert or coffee later
Very Disappointed! Bad Service – We had reservations at 5:45 p.m. and were seated promptly. Too bad the server didn't serve us promptly. We waited 11 minutes for the server to get our drink order. After reviewing the menu and making a decision about the food, we were not able to get the server back to our table. She ignored our pleas for service. Once she finally arrived to take our order, we ordered appetizers and dinners at the same time. Another long wait; then someone showed up with crackers and cheese. We asked about the appetizers but didn't get an answer. Instead the original server showed up with our dinners. She immediately asked about the appetizers and whipped our dinners back to the kitchen to find out what had happened. Starved by then, we went after her to retrieve our food. We received an apology about the appetizers but didn't get a good explaination about what happened to them. The food was not as good as usual. You can count me as a former customer left with a bad taste in his mouth.
You've changed! – On 12/3/10 I took my mother to lunch (12:05 pm) at this establishment and thought I would be visiting a familiar place as we have dined for lunch numerous times over the past 3 years. I could never have been more wrong! To enjoy the meal I wanted to sit by the window upstairs overlooking the street (Linwood Ave.). It seems additional tables have been added with no thought to square footage expansion. I did not appreciate being told by some unprofessional "kid" host that I could not sit at a table for 4 during the lunch hour because those tables needed to be reserved for larger parties (when I saw parties of 2 seated at a table for 4 when we were exiting). This was ridiculous! I never had a problem sitting at a table of choice before. In an economy like the present restaurants should let a patron sit wherever they want to sit and be happy for the business. Before we could even get our coats off and situated at an undesireable table, crammed against the wall beside a group of loud and abnoxious guys, the host asked if he could get our drinks. Someone needs to train the staff in being a waiter, servicing dirty tables, and distrbuting "clean" utensils. Let us get our coats off first!!!! I have never had such an awful experience with service. The waitress never told us her name and had to shout when taking our order due to the loud bunch at the next table. This experience was just a mood breaker. Not to mention the food (Crab Dip, appetizer and Seafood Club, entree) tasted better a year ago. Just an unprofessional expereince all around and not worth the drive and $49.00 bill. If anyone is looking for a nice restaurant in this area, don't go to this one. They have changed and not for the better!!!!!!
Great Food and even more AMAZING service – Arrived right at lunch time,, lots of customers and filed tables. Greeted and seated quickly. Food portions were HUGE and delivered to the table with a smile. Everything we had, from soup to salads to sandwiches were delicious and fresh. Our drinks never got empty,,, Matthew the bartender/waiter, was on top of it all. He inquired if our food/apps were tasty. This establishment is well run and is a must if you are in the Baltimore area. Food is delicious but more importantly, you feel like you are at home with the friendly service. Scunny, the manager, was on top of it all. We only wish there was a Mama's in our town!!!
Fun Food for Kids and Adults – I have been eating lunch and an occasional dinner at Mamas for the past 4 years or so and feel I need to write a review. The food: some of the best "Baltimore" stylings that you could have. A crab cake to die for, Mac and cheese that my 7 yer old calls the best Mac and chees around and salads and drinks that are just great and plentiful. The Tuna Tar tare is a family favorite reminiscent of the best sushi restaurants in the city. What makes this place so good beyond the food and value is the service and management. I started out as a customer and truly feel like I belong here. LIke the song says everybody knows your name. Scunni, the erstwhile "Mayor" of Canton is here to please. The staff equally so and they take pride in what they serve and all of their guests. Fish and Chips Mate??? Oh My Cod! (sorry for the pun) It as if they are serving Moby Dick with Fries. I mean come at night for the incredibley delicious Cheese and crackers or for lunch but do come and if you are an out of town guest, ask for the Orange Crush!
Great Place – It's a charming little spot. Full of live Atmosphere. The Food is outstanding. Being a cater I am no critical of food, I could not find one flaw in this place. The Food was beyond great. That macaroni and cheese is to die for. I have never tasted a cesar dressing with such a lasting flavor.
Best Secret In Baltimore – My wife and I recently paid our second visit to Mama's and there could not have been a more pleasant place to toast her happy last appointment at Johns Hopkins Hospital. We chose a quiet corner in the late Fall afternoon by the fireplace with a view of Canton Square. Our server was quietly charming and accommodating. My wife shared my unbelievably heaping bowl of delcious Prince Edward Island Mussels in white wine, herb & garlic sauce, served with fresh baked bread. We sopped ALL of the sauce! She also sampled the best crab cake we have ever tasted. We live on the beach at the southern shore of the Chesapeake Bay in Norfolk, and know our crab. Her shrimp Caesar salad was perfect, with properly wilted Romaine lettuce, delicate Caesar dressing with shredded cheese, and crunchy croutons. The shrimp were perfectly grilled. We enjoyed our annual visits to Baltimore for 5 years, and Mama's gave us a wonderful last memory.

I ran 3/4" pex piping 100' between my house and garage. I did not use INSULATED pex pipe. I ran the pex pipe about 4' deep. Will it freeze during the winter months? Do I need to change it to insulated pex pipe? What can I do to prevent the pex pipe from freezing?
Thanks for any response.
